- I can't help on the Woods Metal but for a temperature bath, have
- you considered Fluorinert, silicone oil or fluidized beds? I have
- used all three as calibration baths. The fluidized bed will easily
- carry you over 1000 C. Dow Corning makes several silicone oils
- that don't visibly fume at 400 C.
